Hello! Let's spend a day in Jerash that feels a world away from the ordinary. We'll start by sharing a rustic, vegetarian breakfast, made with love and local ingredients right in a Jordanian home. It’s the perfect fuel for the day ahead. Then, we’ll lose ourselves on a peaceful walk through the serene Jerash forests, breathing in the fresh air and the quiet beauty of nature. But the real magic happens when we meet the bees. At Bait Al Jarashi, you’ll pull on a beekeeper's suit and step into their buzzing world for a hands-on workshop that’s as fascinating as it is fun. We’ll wrap it all up the best way we know how: with a freshly brewed cup of tea by the fire, sharing stories from a day you won’t forget.
What to Expect
A Taste of Tradition
Your adventure begins with a true taste of Jordanian hospitality. We'll share a simple, delicious breakfast made from fresh, local ingredients, prepared for you by locals. It’s the honest, hearty food that fuels life here.

Next, we’ll wander into the peaceful forests of Jerash. On a gentle 2-3 hour guided walk, you can breathe in the fresh air, listen to the sounds of nature, and let the beautiful, green landscape wash over you.
The Heart of the Hive
This is where the magic happens. You’ll be welcomed by Abu Rashid at his family farm for a hands-on beekeeping workshop. Suit up in protective gear, get up close to the buzzing hives, and learn the secrets of these incredible creatures from a true expert. It’s an unforgettable, photo-worthy experience!
A Fireside Moment
We’ll end our day the local way—gathered together, sipping a sweet, refreshing cup of tea brewed right over a crackling wood fire. It’s the perfect moment to relax and reflect on a day well spent.
